The International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) is an annual competitive programming event for high school students from around the world. It aims to promote computer science and informatics education by challenging participants with algorithmic problems that require creative problem-solving skills. Each participating country selects its team of up to four students, who compete individually in solving complex programming tasks within a limited time. The IOI not only fosters international collaboration but also encourages young talents to pursue careers in computer science and related fields.
